My Site GTMetrix Speed Is Too Low

Hello guys. I've been obsessed with the site speed issue for a few days. In fact, it does not have a bad speed in real use, but it lags behind in the gtmetrix score. (70-75) There are also google analytics and google AdSense codes on the site. Images are available on Litespeed CDN.

Plugins I use;

• Litespeed (minify Html, css etc.) + CDN
• TinyPNG - JPEG, PNG & WebP image compression
• Yoast SEO
• WP Statistics
• Link Whisper Free
• Classic Editor
• Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced)
• Easy Social Feed

Example page of my website: https://www.turkishvibe.com/series/midnight-at-pera-palace/

I don't know how to code guys. Gtmetrix suggests the following but I don't know how:

• Reduce initial server response time
• Eliminate render-blocking resources (Litespeed CSS)
• Avoid chaining critical requests
• Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) (I already use?)
• Reduce unused CSS (Again Litespeed)

I wrote a post earlier, maybe it will help you: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/how-to-improve-my-website-page-speed.1384892/post-15148313


Reduce initial server response time

• Disable this plugin: TinyPNG (compress images manually by going to https://tinypng.com/). Litespeed I believe also compresses the images.
• Disable this plugin: WP Statistics (you have Google Analytics, don't add more scripts to your site that are not needed)
• If you remove the above 2 plugins, you only have 4 plugins running on the main site (which is good!)
• Do you have a pre-built theme? Many are extremely "heavy" and make thousands of database requests. MAKE SURE you have Object Caching setup (LiteSpeed supports it but doesn't enable it).
• I see that you are hosting with Radore. They are located in Istanbul. It's possible when testing that your nearest testing location is far away and increasing the response time. If your customers are in Europe (for example), choose a web host with server locations nearest to them.
• Most of the time long response times are due to: slow hosting or too many database requests on page load (for WP sites).

Eliminate render-blocking resources
Reference: https://web.dev/critical-request-chains/

• Add "async" to the end of your Javascript tags.
• CSS is a little trickier, but I added it in the guide.
• Quick Guide: https://codeshare.io/bvjyrv

Avoid chaining critical requests

• Move non-critical files to the footer (such as Javascript and 3rd-party scripts)
• Add "async" to your scripts and CSS
• Setup LazyLoad for your images

Use a Content Delivery Network
Reference: https://web.dev/unused-css-rules/

• I checked your website and can confirm you are not. Your website is currently hosting/loading the images directly.

Reduce unused CSS

• There is no easy way to do this if you are not familiar with programming. I personally try to limit plugins when optimizing, but there are plugins to help with this. Here is a guide: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/css/reference/#coverage

GOOD LUCK!

Hi ! Thanks your reply. You're great. Actually I am using Litespeed CDN right now? Are you sure about that? My pagespeed scone 92-98 right now. But I am surprised when u said that you are not using CDN. I am a little confused now.

Have you installed and setup Lscache, Object cache and Quic cloud CDN properly?
With all those you should have at least 94+ given that your website is not flooded with random shitty javascript codes

Use cloudfare and 70 percent of your issue will be solved.

More plugins - low speed

It's not good for SEO Ranking nowadays to get a Low score in Gtmatrix and Google Speed test Results. So Please check your website theme and plugins to make your website faster. You can use wp rocket plugins, Autooptimize, and Other page Speed optimization plugins to get good score in both gtmatrix and Google Speed test

Also don't use yoast , it's known to slow down site and hurt seo, use rankmath or seo framework.

• Add a fallback attribute (swap) to the @fontface property on the CSS serving your site´s fonts - This will prevent the "Ensure text remains visible during Webfont load" issue triggered inside Google PageSpeed Insights.

In fact, I would disable the LiteSpeed plugin and double-check whether these resources are being used or not and, if they´re not, dequeue them.

Try to use less plugins.

Thank you dude! I don't know how to do these but I'll research them! =D

1) remove yoast get the seoframework

2) install wp rocket and perfmatters

3) enable sitemap, cache, and instant page in wp rocket,

4) use perfmatters set up, pause scripts where they can be, delay all JS by 4 - 5 seconds, delay all unused Css, lazy loading image, exclude 2.

try all this and check your speed
